Looks like taking a kudzu pill before drinking can keep heavy drinkers from binge drinking. That’s good for some people who really need help to curb alcoholism. But they missed an important aspect of the results: I can get just as drunk on half the booze! These kudzu pills can cut my costs and health risks in half! Unless there’s some terrible side effect, I’ll get just as drunk, but have significantly fewer hangover effects. Moreover, my poutine budget will be reduced, and I can throw away my bottle of Febreeze. Everyone wins!

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.
